Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemons

    Roll the fresh lemons on a countertop to soften them. Cut them in half and juice them into a measuring cup, discarding the seeds.

  2. 2

    Mix Sugar and Water

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the sugar-water mixture, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or water as desired. Stir until fully mixed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Add ice cubes to glasses and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
